(St. Paul, MN) -- Governor Tim Walz is expanding the Kids Deserve a Shot incentive program to children between the ages of five and eleven.  

Walz announced the change Tuesday, saying families that get a child in that age group vaccinated fully between January 1st and February 28th can claim a 200-dollar Visa gift card.  

Eligible children will also be entered into a drawing for one of five 100-thousand dollar college scholarships.
